Make Something

Tighten up that string, stomp your foot on the floor
 Find some words to sing, open up your door
 Grow the tree, carve the wood, polish till it shines
 Find the better way, something that saves time
 Go on light the way that no one's ever seen
 Bridge the gap, draw the map of the places in between
 Make something, make your own
 There's a statue waiting inside a block of stone
 Twist the knob on that amp 'til you find the right tone
 Make something, make your own
 ♪
 That picture in your head, put it on the wall
 Paint it on a cave, hang it in the hall
 Change the oil, change the tire, get it rolling true
 Do your best on the test, that's all that we can do
 If it's beautiful but useless, don't be ashamed
 Show it to your people, don't forget to sign your name
 Make something, make your own
 There's a statue waiting inside a block of stone
 Take a hammer and a nail, build someone a home
 Make something, make your own
 Make something, shake something with both hands
 Leave your mark, throw a spark so the world will understand
 ♪
 That restlessness to see what's over the next hill
 Keeps you up at night and probably always will
 So keep the fire burning, on into the dark
 But if it keeps on raining, go on and build an ark
 Fall in love, raise a child, teach her right from wrong
 Build her up, raise her tough, so she can write a song
 Make something, make your own
 There's a garden rising up from seeds that were sown
 Tell the story that the world has never known
 Make something, make your own
 Make something, shake something, up and go
 Believe me when I say, the clock ain't moving slow
 Make something, while you can
 If you want to live forever, better make something man
 While you can, make something man
